I stand corrected!The limba that PRS used is actually white limba. The korina guitars do not have the mineral streaks that are the tell-tale signs of black limba.

And here's an example of what black limba looks like
Dave's just got in two Mira prototypes. They had some other prototypes recently too, both McCarty models, one with a redwood neck and the other with a cedar neck I think? Man I'd love to try those.
Also, I know these both say 2008 prototypes but the Mira was introduced at winter NAMM 2007. Wish they'd zoom in on the serial number.

What is interesting is that lot of Mira Korina first owners eBayed the guitars fairly quickly because they were so bright. I almost eBayed mine as well; however, Brian Meader gave me a PTC coupon when I purchased the guitar with which I had 57/08s installed and had the guitar setup for 9.5s (the Mira Korina needs eddy current inducing nickel/silver covered pickups). I do not know what the guys in the PRC did to the guitar, but it was like they sprinkled fairy dust on it. What the folks in the PTC do best is bring out the absolute best out any guitar they receive. The folks on the production line do a fantastic job, but the PTC kicks everything up a notch. Those guys are wizards.
Can you expand on this...I thought covers were either inert or attenuated highs?

@sergiodeblanc Both of those have later serial numbers than yours. Definitely not protos. Weird that they would label them as such.
I can't seem to make out the serial numbers. The red one might be 8 131xxx? My 07 is 127xxx
Do it. Seriously.I’ve got a line on a Core Mira in great shape. Could probably get it for $650, with the case. Wife will kill me—oh, the challenges of GAS.
Do it. Seriously.
Tell your wife its my fault.
